Workers Needed In NW Minnesota

THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn. (AP) — Some companies in northwestern Minnesota have an unlikely problem in a tough economy. They can’t find enough employees.

Randy Twistol of Arctic Cat says the company’s Thief River Falls plant isn’t operating at full capacity because of a shortage of workers. At Digi-Key Corp., human resources vice president Rick Trontvet says the company has recruited around the state and even out of the state to find workers, but the lack of housing in Thief River Falls is a problem.

Gov. Mark Dayton attended a regional economic summit on the issue Monday at Northland Community and Technical College. The Grand Forks Herald reports the governor wants the state to help the area by creating more affordable housing options.

Sounds like a good opportunity for some folks who are unemployed or underemployed.

By the way, I believe they intended to say “cannot find enough employees…”
This error is in the headline as well as in the first paragraph, and also, it is probably meant to say “…of Arctic Cat…” rather than “…or Arctic Cat…”

There are obviously some proofreading skills lacking here on someone’s part.

I did apply for jobs at Digi-Key Corp more then one, they samples sent me a letter said; the position is filled and my application will remain in database if their is any opportunity or opening they will contact me. So what the Jokes?
